Yep what she said :)

I'd go see a physiotherapist and get them to look at it.

That's a bloody good point! Except I'm not a low carb person and I have this avatar atm, but I do have a couple of me at the gym. It depends on my mood lol.

Sigh, I've missed almost a week of weight sessions. The three weeks before that have been very sporadic. This was due to an insane work/study/kids schedule. Tomorrow I'm back to it starting at 4.30am. It's gonna hurt

Ooh wow! What a great post!!! Congrats op on your awesome job!!!!!!

Bumping for the awesomeness

Try your local library?

Wowee. That's an awesome amount of protein!! Well done :) I'm no expert but I think expecting muscle bulging out after only 8 weeks is a teeny bit impatient. Short of chemical enhancement you'll just have to keep busting those awesome weights! Keep up the great work op and be patient. Great things come to those who work…

Hi op, I too found that 1200 calories seemed like Omfg this is waaaaay too much food. And it was! Until I started weighing my food. All of my food. Actually not just food. Drinks too. Oh and logging everything. I was waaaaaay underestimating my calories. And I was looking for the lowest calorie one in the list. After being…

Wowee that's an awesome video! Thanks for sharing op

Had to quote that to see what you were saying. And yep I'm exactly the same

It'll work as a cleanse as in it'll literally run straight through you. You'll have to become good friends with the toilet. I really wouldn't recommend it. Had you ever been to the beach as a child? If so, do you remember choking on a mouthful of sea water? That's what it'll be like. Your poor butt hole will be burning…

It's a lovely message. But for those of us that are trying to lose weight it kind of sucks I do find it rather ironic that it's made by lean cuisine Thanks for sharing op

Do you weigh your food on a food scale? I was having trouble hitting offer 1000 until I started weighing my foods. I was majorly underestimating.

Yep me too! I read through them every day. I can't wait to post my own success story one day

Juice a lemon and add a good teaspoon of garlic. Marinade the lamb in this for about half an hour. Cook in a hot frypan till it's about medium rare. Slice it up and serve over a tossed salad. Squeeze some lemon juice over the salad as a dressing. yuuuuuum

I'm sorry, but I have to take your Mum's side on this one. You are a guest in her house. Yes she's your mum but geez. That being said, I'm not an expert in the carb cravings of your condition so I can't really judge. Try to exercise your willpower and just say no to them

Ooh deadlifts or bench.... That's a tough choice

Yep I'm another working studying mummy. It's so hard! I get up at 4am and I'm at the gym at 4.30. Then after an hour I go home, get the kids up and ready for school. I study three days a week and work the other four.

That's because Aussie steak is the best in the world :) Lamb steak, I marinade in lemon juice and garlic for about half an hour before cooking. Mmmmm yummmm Beef though, nah it's flavour is enough. I don't need to add anything to it

Looking awesome mate!! Congrats on your hard work paying off :)

I'm really glad you are feeling better. Now is a great time to call your Dr to discuss your meds. I really don't want to be a Debbie downer, but please tell me that you're going to eat more than a noodle and some fruit juice. Keep up your meds lovie. Effexor is a medication that needs to be taken regularly to work properly…

I had a wrap today for lunch from a burger place. I got full after not even half. So I left the rest!!!! I would have taken it with me, but wraps don't travel well.

My thoughts would be woo. Just from a quick google. If it seems too good to be true, then it probably is. My Dr told me once "if there was a pill/potion/powder/thingie that created sustainable weight loss then there would be no fat people" You don't need to spend money on anything except a food scale. Weigh your foods. Log…

Omfg you made me spit out my drink!!!!

I drag the bench around to get it in the right position in the power cage. I'll randomly sing a line to my music. But I'm wearing headphones so I probably look a bit weird. I count my reps out loud lol. But I do weird things no matter where I am lol.

Are you able to book in with a personal trainer or a physiotherapist? They may be able to spot the problem, work out why it happens and how to avoid it. Unfortunately without a video, it's going to be a bit tricky for most people to help you with your form

Mine do too! But I've got foot issues. Well actually. Achilles tendon issues.

*all

Sigh... I feel like an excited kid surrounded by ask my heroes lol. You guys all rock!!!!
